SummaryRestenosis following coronary angioplasty is thought to result from migration and proliferation of medial smooth muscle cells. However, the factors that initiate this proliferation are still unknown. In a rabbit model of carotid artery injury, we tested the hypothesis that activated platelets and leucocytes might contribute to the development of neointimal hyperplasia. Following arterial injury, rabbits received either no treatment, R15.7, a monoclonal antibody against the leucocyte CD ll/CD 18 adhesion complex, aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA), a sub stance that inhibits platelet glycoprotein Ib-von Willebrand factor interaction, or the combination of R15.7 and ATA. After 21 days, the extent of neointimal hyperplasia was evaluated by planimetry on histological arterial sections. The area of neointima averaged 0.51 ±0.07 mm2 in control animals and it was significantly reduced by administrationof either R15.7 or ATA alone to 0.12 ± 0.05 and 0.20 ±0.01 mm2, respectively (p <0.05 vs controls for both groups). The animals that received the combination of R15.7 and ATA showed a further reduction in neointimal hyperplasia, as compared to animals that received ATA alone (p <0.05 vs ATA alone). These data indicate that platelets and leucocytes play animportant role in the pathophysi ology of neointimal hyperplasia in this experimental model. Interven tions that reduce platelet and leucocyte adhesion to vessel wall might have beneficial effects in reducing restenosis following coronary angioplasty.

SummaryType 2B of von Willebrand disease (vWD) refers to qualitative variants with increased affinity of von Willebrand factor (vWF) for platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb). All the mutations responsible for type 2B vWD have been located in the A1 domain of vWF. In this study, various recombinant von Willebrand factors (rvWF) reproducing four type 2B vWD missense mutations were compared to wild-type rvWF (WT-rvWF) for their spontaneous binding to platelets and their capacity to induce platelet activation and aggregation. Our data show that the multimeric pattern of each mutated rvWF is similar to that of WT-rvWF but the extent of spontaneous binding and the capacity to induce platelet activation and aggregation are more important for the R543Q and V553M mutations than for the L697V and A698V mutations. Both the binding of mutated rvWFs to platelets and platelet aggregation induced by type 2B rvWFs are inhibited by monoclonal anti-GPIb and anti-vWF antibodies, inhibitors of vWF binding to platelets in the presence of ristocetin, as well as by aurin tricarboxylic acid. On the other hand, EDTA and a monoclonal antibody directed against GPIIb/IIIa only inhibit platelet aggregation. Furthermore, the incubation of type 2B rvWFs with platelets, under stirring conditions, results in the decrease in high molecular weight vWF multimers in solution, the extent of which appears correlated with that of plasma vWF from type 2B vWD patients harboring the corresponding missense mutation. This study supports that the binding of different mutated type 2B vWFs onto platelet GPIb induces various degrees of platelet activation and aggregation and thus suggests that the phenotypic heterogeneity of type 2B vWD may be related to the nature and/or location of the causative point mutation.

SummaryWe have evidence that ristocetin and botrocetin mediate binding of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) to platelet glycoprotein lb (GPIb) through two distinct domains on the vWF molecule. This was established by using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to vWF and synthetic peptides derived from the sequence of vWF. MAb 322 and MAb NMC/vW 4 both recognize native vWF as well as fragments containing the GPIb-binding domain of vWF, obtained with the following enzymes: trypsin (116 kDa), V-8 pro tease (Spill, 320 kDa) and V-8 protease plus subtilisin (33-28 kDa). Nevertheless, the lack of reciprocal displacement between the two MAbs in experiments of competitive inhibition for binding to vWF demonstrate that their respective epitopes are separate. Both MAbs inhibit 125I-vWF binding to platelet membrane GPIb and vWF-dependent platelet agglutination induced by ristocetin. However, only MAb NMC/vW4 inhibits these functions in the presence of botrocetin and when ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination is inhibited by MAb 322, botrocetin is still able to restore the agglutination. The involvement of two distinct domains of vWF for binding to GPIb in the presence of ristocetin or botrocetin was confirmed in experiments of binding of 125I-vWF to platelets using as competitor synthetic peptides corresponding to the GPIb binding domain of vWF (Cys 474 to Pro 488 and Ser 692 to Pro 708). At a final concentration of 2.5 mM both peptides inhibit more than 90% of the binding of vWF to ristocetin-treated platelets but are unable to modify this binding in the presence of botrocetin. In conclusion our data suggest that botrocetin and ristocetin involve distinct sites on vWF for binding to GPIb.

SummaryWe have recently shown the existence of two distinct forms of botrocetin (one-chain and two-chain), and demonstrated that the two-chain species is approximately 30 times more active than the one-chain in promoting von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding to platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib. The N-terminal sequence of two-chain botrocetin is highly homologous to sea-urchin Echinoidin and other Ca2+-dependent lectins (Fujimura et al., Biochemistry 1991; 30: 1957–64).Present data indicate that purified two-chain botrocetin binds to vWF from plasmas of patients with type IIA or IIB von Willebrand disease and its interaction is indistinguishable from that with vWF from normal individuals. However, an “activated complex” formed between botrocetin and IIB vWF expresses an enhanced biological activity for binding to GP Ib whereas the complex with IIA vWF has a decreased binding activity. Among several anti-vWF monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) which inhibit ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation and/or vWF binding to GPIb, only two MoAbs (NMC-4 and RFF-VIII RAG:1) abolished direct binding between purified botrocetin and vWF. This suggests that they recognize an epitope(s) on the vWF molecule in close proximity to the botrocetin binding site.

SummaryPorcine von Willebrand factor (P-vWF) binds to human platelet glycoprotein (GP) lb and, upon stirring (1500 rpm/min) at 37° C, induces, in a dose-dependent manner, a transmembrane flux of Ca2+ ions and platelet aggregation with an increase in their intracellular concentration. The inhibition of P-vWF binding to GP lb, obtained with anti GP lb monoclonal antibody (LJ-Ib1), inhibits the increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and platelet aggregation. This effect is not observed with LJ-Ib10, an anti GP lb monoclonal antibody which does not inhibit the vWF binding to GP lb. An anti GP Ilb-IIIa monoclonal antibody (LJ-CP8) shown to inhibit the binding of both vWF and fibrinogen to the GP IIb-IIIa complex, had only a slight effect on the [Ca2+]i rise elicited by the addition of P-vWF. No inhibition was also observed with a different anti GP IIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody (LJ-P5), shown to block the binding of vWF and not that of fibrinogen to the GP IIb-IIIa complex. PGE1, apyrase and indomethacin show a minimal effect on [Ca2+]i rise, while EGTA completely blocks it. The GP lb occupancy by recombinant vWF fragment rvWF445-733 completely inhibits the increase of [Ca2+]i and large aggregates formation. Our results suggest that, in analogy to what is seen with human vWF under high shear stress, the binding of P-vWF to platelet GP lb, at low shear stress and through the formation of aggregates of an appropriate size, induces a transmembrane flux of Ca2+, independently from platelet cyclooxy-genase metabolism, perhaps through a receptor dependent calcium channel. The increase in [Ca2+]i may act as an intracellular message and cause the activation of the GP IIb-IIIa complex.

SummaryIntroduction of single amino acid substitutions into the C-terminal Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) site of von Willebrand Factor, referred to as RGD mutant vWF, selectively abrogated vWF binding to platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GpIIb/IIIa, αIIbβ3 and abolished human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) spreading, but not attachment, to RGD mutant vWF (Beacham, D. A., Wise, R. J., Turci, S. M. and Handin, R. I. 1992. J. Biol. Chem. 167, 3409-3415). These results suggested that in addition to the vitronectin receptor (VNR, αvβ3), a second endothelial membrane glycoprotein can mediate HUVEC adhesion to vWF. HUVEC attachment to wild-type (WT) and RGD-mutant vWF was reduced by two proteins known to block the vWF-platelet glycoprotein Ib/IX (GpIb/IX) interaction, the monoclonal antibody AS-7 and the recombinant polypeptide, vWF-A1. The addition of cytochalasin B or DNase I to disrupt potential GPIbα-cytoskeletal interactions enhanced the immunoprecipitation of endothelial GPIbα, caused HUVEC to round up, and increased HUVEC adhesion to RGD mutant vWF. These results indicate that while the VNR is the primary adhesion receptor for vWF, endothelial GPIbα can mediate HUVEC attachment to vWF. GpIb-dependent attachment could contribute to HUVEC adhesion under conditions when cell surface expression of the VNR is downregulated, and VNR-dependent adhesion is reduced.

In order to study the structure-function relationship of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), we have located the epitope of a well-characterized monoclonal antibody (MAb) to vWF (MAb 9). This MAb reacts with the C-terminal portion of the vWF subunit, SPII fragment [amino acids (aa) 1366-2050], which includes an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence at positions 1744-1746, and totally inhibits vWF and SPII binding to platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa). A recombinant DNA library was constructed by cloning small (250-500 nucleotides) vWF cDNA fragments into the lambda gt11 vector and these inserts were expressed as fusion proteins with beta-galactosidase. Immunological screening of the library with 125I-MAb 9 identified three immunoreactive clones. vWF inserts were amplified by the PCR and their sequences demonstrated overlapping nucleotides from positions 7630 to 7855 of vWF cDNA, coding for aa residues 1698-1773 of the mature subunit, indicating that this is the epitope of MAb 9. vWF-beta-galactosidase fusion protein reacted with 125I-MAb 9 by Western blotting. In a solid-phase radioimmunoassay, the purified fusion proteins decreased the binding of vWF to 125I-MAb 9 by 50%, and this inhibition was dose-dependent between 3.5 and 120 nM. Therefore the epitope of MAb 9 is located within aa 1698-1773 of the vWF subunit, which includes the RGD sequence implicated in the binding of adhesive proteins of GPIIb/IIIa.
